Appearance inspection is an important part of the evaluation of second-hand equipment.

In particular, the inspection of the hydraulic system must ensure that there is no leakage, so as not to affect the operating efficiency and safety of the excavator.

Conduct a field test of the used Komatsu excavator

We can request an on-site test before purchasing. Through actual operation, check the starting performance, running stability, and whether the various functions of the excavator are normal. For example, whether the operation of the excavator is flexible, whether the hydraulic system is smooth, and whether the engine has abnormal sounds. During the test, pay special attention to the reaction time and work efficiency of the machine.
